Outputting inequality with $e^x$

65 Views Asked by At

I many books I can find inequality which estimates $e$: $$\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^n \lt e \lt \left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^{n+1}$$

I am wondering if correct is also to write: $$\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^{nx} \lt e^x \lt \left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^{x(n+1)}$$ or maybe I can just raise the parties to the power?

Or maybe is any similiar inequality for $e^x$ like this?

yes for $x>0$, because taking something to the power of $x$ is a strictly increasing function.
